Installation of the window can be accomplished prior to or after the wall panels are in place.

7 (It is recommended that the installation take pace prior to the pall panels as it simplifies the process.) 2. Stand the window in the location desired. 3. Secure both sides of the base through the tow holes on the base clips with the masonry anchors provided. 4. Raise the adjustable clip at the top of both subjambs to the bottom of the girt. Plumb the window and attach these clips to the girt and subjambs. 5. When sheeting, cut the panels as needed round the window. Make the cuts as close as possible to the window perimeter. The actual rough opening size would be 2 less than the stated window width and 1 5/8 less than the stated window height.

8 Example: 3040 window would have a rough opening of 33 wide by 46 3/8 high. 6. Field apply the finished snap-on trim on both window jambs. 7. Run a continuous bead of caulk at the head to form a watertight seal.

9 Therefore, rough opening locations must be 12 the and cut the rough opening to the appropriate size. Check the diagrams below for the width needed. The height is the same as the stated the window unit into the location as cut. If the cut is slightly larger in height than needed, raise the window when fastening so the gap is lessened at the head. The bottom sill has a hinged plate that is raised during the mounting stage. This allows for the rough opening to be cut to the smallest tolerance possible. Pull the plate back down when in the window and use the predrilled holes on the jamb fins to attach the window directly to the flats of the wall the back sill plate to the wall panels from the the window is secured, apply a continuous bead of caulk theentire length of the head, through the corners to form a watertight PanelArchitectural Panel 2 2 Thermal WINDOW PERFORMANCE DATA PDL Building PRODUCTS 31393 INDUSTRIAL PARKWAY NORTH OLMSTED.
